“This is an example of my concern with the new gun law that people will take the law into their own hands which we will not tolerate,” Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress said.
Now why would anyone be concerned that "Responsible Gun Owners" would take the law into their own hands. OH! SNAP! That why they carry guns in the first place!

I think you are reading and "hearing" tone, where there was non intended.....
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his palace, his possessions are safe.
Jesus Christ, Luke 11:21
I'm sorry, I can't see the picture you posted..I think my work filters are preventing it.
When the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was Governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually.". . . I ask, who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.
George Mason, Virginia's U.S. Constitution ratification convention, 1788
England: According to the BBC News, handgun crime in the United Kingdom rose by 40% in the two years after it passed its draconian gun ban in 1997.
British citizens are now more likely to become a victim of crime than are people in the United States:
* In 1998, a study conducted jointly by statisticians from the U.S. Department of Justice and the University of Cambridge in England found that most crime is now worse in England than in the United States.
* "You are more likely to be mugged in England than in the United States," stated the Reuters news agency in summarizing the study. "The rate of robbery is now 1.4 times higher in England and Wales than in the United States, and the British burglary rate is nearly double America’s."(158) The murder rate in the United States is reportedly higher than in England, but according to the DOJ study, "the difference between the [murder rates in the] two countries has narrowed over the past 16 years.
Underreporting murder data: British crime reporting tactics keep murder rates artificially low. "Suppose that three men kill a woman during an argument outside a bar. They are arrested for murder, but because of problems with identification (the main witness is dead), charges are eventually dropped. In American crime statistics, the event counts as a three-person homicide, but in British statistics it counts as nothing at all. ‘With such differences in reporting criteria, comparisons of U.S. homicide rates with British homicide rates is a sham,’ [a 2000 report from the Inspectorate of Constabulary] concludes."

Yet another example of a "responsible gun owner" making a HUGE mistake. My opinion is that having a gun makes lots of people act more quickly than they would if they had to harm someone in another/more direct way, often times jumping the gun (pun intended) and not fully thinking of the consequences of pulling that trigger before actually doing it.

My father as well, all securely locked, probably to the point of being somewhat inaccessible in a real emergency. Not saying that everyone is trigger happy, I just feel like I hear about these types of things too often. Or people who feel "threatened" and shoot before really thinking - off the top of my head I'm thinking of George Zimmerman and the white guy that killed the black woman whose car broke down and knocked on his door for help.
